Do You Ever Wake Up With a Song In Your Head?
 

I do, basically every day... its the weirdest thing, and its been that way for years

The alarm goes off and suddenly I've got some random song in my head, making me sing along to it in the shower... usually its something I've heard in the last couple days, but other times its SO random

Woke up to this today, heard it three days ago at work

I wake up to the same voice in my head every morning. Should I get checked?

all the time.

I always have songs running in my head.

:LOL:

My favorite from the Springfield, Missura band.

I I’m darkness I’m anger I’m pain
I I’m master the evil song you sing inside your brain
Drive you insane don’t talk
Don’t let them inside your mind yeah

Ha, yep.

Jet, I can almost remember their funny faces.

I have to admit I teared up a little with that one

Music is what keeps me from getting good sleep most of the time. I constantly have music playing inside my skull. Makes it very hard to get to sleep, very hard to stay asleep. It’s NEVER something slow that I can get to/back to sleep either. Usually Soca, or dancehall which is pretty upbeat. Been struggling with it for at least a decade. Sometimes I’ll be on the verge of passing out, and then BOOM! High energy music banging against the walls of my eardrums. It’s even worse since my hospitalization, can’t drink or smoke the herbs right now, so I can only take a gummy and that doesn’t really help as much as all 3 together do.

Last nights song (which tends to be a favorite of my brain)

Good luck getting to sleep with this playing in your head!

Does it sound like Morgan Freeman??

:rockon:

God yes. And it can be ANYTHING I've ever heard, including some shit I haven't heard/thought of in years, and sometimes something I absolutely despise.

I don't know why my brain hates me. :cuss:

Today it was yellow submarine by the Beatles.

Yesterday it was baba O’Reilly by the who.

I heard this song once, I don't know where, woke up with it in my head one day and had a hard time trying to find out what it's called, was trying to google the lyrics I could remember but I was getting something else and finally found it one day. It was driving me nuts for a little bit

Dang man, if its affecting your sleep thats next level stuff

That actually sounds like a burden, with me its more like amusement... where the hell did this come from, and why?

LMAO yep it can be just like that, this was the one about 2 weeks ago... why?

Nope, I wake up virtually every morning deciding whether I can putt off getting up to piss or not until I finally decide I have to do it.

No songs.

It’s definitely a burden. Laid down at 11 pm last night. At 2 am I was still awake because I couldn’t get the music to stop. Had to be up at 6 for work. That’s basically a nightly occurrence! Sucks! Even take a sleeping pill, and still doesn’t stop it.

Never. I’m jealous.

Would you say you’re a good or bad sleeper? How long has this been a thing for?

****ing Keith Partridge, get out of my head.

Ha yep... you can either lay there pretending you're sleeping, or go piss and actually get back to sleep

Dude that sounds awful, my deal hits me in the morning but doesn't affect sleep at all

I mean yeah sometimes during stressful times its hard to shut down, but its never pounding music keeping me up... just general worries or whatever, sounds like you need to be talking to your docs about all this since you're already seeing them all the time

This may not be a solution for you, but about two months ago I got an app called Breethe on my phone. I think there's a bunch of these apps out there.


Basically a bunch of different things on there to help with sleeping, stress, etc. Everything from sounds (white noise/Brown noise/etc.) to 'hypnosis' files, audio stories, and so on.

I have pretty bad insomnia and trouble staying asleep. Been having trouble with it since i was in my teens. Typically I wake up several times a night and then lay there pissed off for hours before nodding off again.

I listen mainly to the rain/campfire/breeze files; helps me get to sleep and stay asleep. I just click play and set the phone on the charger (app uses some juice), and that's it.

Since I've been using Breethe, I've been falling asleep easier, and definitely not waking up 4+ times a night anymore. Been a kind of minor miracle for me.

It's free (pretty sure they all are), maybe it'd be worth trying out.

My alarm clock is ‘Hell In A Bucket’

The Who song that's always revisits me at random times is Behind Blue Eyes.

But my dreams aren't...

only if your mom turns on the radio in the kitchen

Every day M-F when the alarm goes off.

Everyday it's the same. Billy Idol's Cyber Punk album. Every song. Every day.

eff that. I'd chop my ears off.:LOL:

The really weird one is to have some random song from childhood pop into your brain and suddenly sing the words and realize they form a complete sentence that actually makes some sort of grammatical sense...

Your mom sings this to me every morning....

I'm a dead log sleeper 75% of the time, out like a light unless its time to pee

The music thing is only waking up, I dunno its maybe some kinda subconscious way of hyping myself up in some strange way to help face the day

This one popped up outta NOWHERE a few days ago, and it kinda helped me get ready for the day as I sang it in the shower lol... not a burden, just a wha?

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vBfFDTPPlaM" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yes, and it’s usually incredibly random and generally lasts all day, if not several days.

I assume it’s because I have kids and take care of other people’s maladjusted kids at work (AKA Gen Z’ers) and am constantly annoyed so my mind pays music to soothe me.

Man.. Music videos were so bad back then.. ROFL

Right now, for some reason, I am hooked on the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack for some reason. It's very epic, just like the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl.

I didnt even play that and I can hear it. :rolleyes:

sometimes-you need to learn how to change the station in your head

Interesting. I don't think so but will report tomorrow.

Are you trapped?

If there was a truly neurotic thing about it with me, it can often be this... it can go on for DAYS with the same song on a loop

Tell me this isn't cool, great song to wake up to...

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GyVz3Y-M8GQ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Had the same epic feeling with a visual.

About twenty five years ago, I use to work for/with another artist, and we would listen to the Dance with Wolves soundtrack traveling through Texas while looking at rolling hills covered in Blue Bonnets.

As to the Op,

No, white noise.

There are certain artists I won't listen to as the song will play in my head for days. I learn to simply refuse to listen to them to prevent it from happening again.

I vividly recall when I was in junior high I had the most awful song stuck in my head for a week straight I thought I was going insane. Jiggle those jigglers from one of Cosby's jello ads. Looking back it must have been hormones and unconsciously linking that song to titties.

He looks like a freshman social studies teacher but its actually a catchy song, one I hadn't thought of in maybe ten years

Just be glad that you didn't wake up to Chicken Train :thumb:

I can always try and sing to an OMDD tune. I break out the acoustic and sing this Randle Chowning masterpiece and the kids slam their doors shut :D

Car Over the Lake was my favorite album of theirs.

Bro!!! Thank you, I’m absolutely going to try this!

I heard this song earlier today and now i can't get it out. :banghead:

I get up every morning and sing a random song in the shower. I have no idea what song it's going to be. There are a few patterns of songs that I know well, but it's often a song that I haven't heard in a while and it just rises to the top of the subconscious list. I assumed that I was the ony one who pulled up random songs.

I always wake up with a song playing in my head. If it's a song that I don't particularly like I have to manually replace it with a favorite of mine to get it out of my head. Radio and advertising are very powerful outlets that program our minds with catchy tunes that inspire us to buy their products. I can still sing jingles from cigarette commercials that haven't been aired for more than 50 years and I don't even smoke. It comes from watching those commercials when I was a kid and my brain has locked them into my memory banks.

Usually when I watch a nostalgic movie Bryan Adam's Everything I do I do it for you is one

Maybe tomorrow you can wake up to Falco's original version in German.

This is my problem. I always have "that song I hate" stuck in my head for the day. Like this one. Those of us 60 and older will remember and I apologize ahead of time:D


Gotta love the cigarette!!

This thread is a psychological minefield. :eek:

I love to sing but I have a very unapproving audience in my household. My daughter will shut the door to her room or put on her noise-canceling headphones. LMAO

I have a habit of singing a song in my head and makeup weird lyric's to go along with it instead of regular.

Our brains can definitely throw us curveballs, sometimes its hard to remember what you had for lunch yesterday... but you'll never forget some shitty little jingle from 45 years ago

Speaking of Frank Zappa -

You're all very welcome!

Go ahead and get the taste of all these infuriatingly psychopathic tunes out of your noggin

You are sadistic !! Thanks a lot !!:rolleyes::p

Oh absolutely. I'm immune at the moment because I'm listening to a rock playlist, but God forbid I get some vile shit like Achy Breaky Heart stuck in my head when I'm somewhere I can't immediately listen to something else. That may be the worst song ever written in the history of music.

And **** anybody who posts a link to it. I won't click on it. Also, I'll be hoping you die. Badly. :#

When I was in High School my dickhead brother came home for some holiday and I was complaining about having a song in my head. So he sang Puff the Magic Dragon incessantly until it displaced the song in my head.

It was not better. ROFL

Yeah, it makes no sense what I wake up to. It's been everything from the Grease soundtrack (what the actual ****) to songs from Sesame Street albums I listened to when I was a kid...in the 70's...

Oddly, this is what I woke up to this morning though:

Well I don't want you to hope for my death. So I'll just post the lyrics:

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more


But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man, ooh

o:-)

Nope. But I definitely wake up most of the time from a dream. Some of them are hilarious.

1-877-KARS 4 KIDS…

Most days I wake up with Hair of The Dog in my head. Some days it's ZZ Top I'm Bad.

Yes. I woke up Thursday to Elvis Costello's Peace, Love and Understanding. My own mind hates me.

Yes, everyday, and the weirdest part is its songs like "Dancing Queen" and "The Balled of the Green Berets".

I woke up with the oh, oh, it's magic song today and was actually relieved.

Glad I'm not the only one. Too many radio waves going through the air. Going to transform the bedroom into faraday cage.

Saw this in another thread... now its stuck...

Thats honestly the secret to defeating an ear worm, just give it a true burnout and let it burn itself out... whats left is surely golden

Oh my God. That has got to be the worst commercial of all time. Nothing will get me to switch stations faster. I hope the radio stations that play that horrible sonofabitch discount anybody paying for ads that air immediately afterward, because I can't be the only one.

You mean like this?
 

This morning its Don't Go Away Mad by Crue, haven't heard that song in several weeks

It’s going to be a good day :thumb:

Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Monday

More importantly, do you Wake Up with a Song in Your Heart?

Yeah, me neither.

It's odd. Not necessarily right when i wake up, but I will have song fragments in my head that kind of loop all day long. For instance today, I have about 3 measures of Gershwin's American in Paris repeating. It's a transitional musical phrase between two differing themes of the song. Tomorrow it will be some other song, but usually only a couple chord progressions.
